CEO/Shareholder

Conor.Delaney@GoodLifeFA.com | 610-628-2082

Conor Delaney founded The Good Life Advisor Systems in 2012 after seeing a gap in the marketplace for successful advisors that wanted a turn-key solution to support their independent financial advisory practice. Mr. Delaney, along with his partner Courtnie Nein began developing procedures, products, and support became the foundation for the offering at Good Life today. Prior to that, he served as both a top advisor and top manager for Waddell & Reed Financial Services since 2005. He graduated from Alvernia University, Reading, Pennsylvania, with degrees in Accounting and in Business Management. Mr. Delaney was also a graduate of Red Bank Catholic High School, Red Bank, NJ.

After losing his father prematurely while in high school, Mr. Delaney entered the financial services industry full time as a sophomore in college, obtaining both his securities licenses and insurance licenses while remaining a full time student and NCAA athlete. He began his private practice first before eventually joining Courtnie Nein in 2007, beginning a successful partnership that led the team to the top of their field. Led by Delaney, they formed The Good Life, giving them the ability to do more for their current and future clients, while also creating the opportunity to roll out a national platform that is intuitively designed to accommodate successful advisors who share in the same desire - serving their clients, community, and family.

Mr. Delaney was also the driver behind creating Good Life Advisors, the Advisor-Owned RIA. Again noticing a demand in the marketplace, a unique model was created which afforded independent IAR’s the ability to own a piece of the RIA instead of just utilizing the RIA for the compliance services. He believes that his responsibility is not just to oversee a company that delivers a great product to advisors looking to go independent, but also to help create more wealth for the advisor team by developing new products, assets, and ideas for the firm. He also believes in creating jobs and opportunity in communities around the country. To execute on this large responsibility, Mr. Delaney has surrounded himself with an executive team that includes veteran industry professionals and people with a long-established track history of building great companies in various marketplaces in the country.

Delaney married his college sweetheart, Liz, in 2008. They have two children, Blake Seraphina and Rhys Brian. They enjoy distance running as a family and spending time with their brothers, sister, and nieces in New Jersey. Delaney is also a volunteer board member at the YMCA, and an active participant in the Lions Club, Greater Reading Chamber of Commerce and the Alvernia Alumni Association.

Courtnie Nein

Managing Partner/Shareholder

Courtnie.Nein@GoodLifeFA.com | 610-628-2047

Courtnie co-founded Good Life Advisor Systems in 2012. Once the need in the marketplace had been identified, Ms. Nein was tasked primarily with creating all of the infrastructure, procedures, policies, and offerings for the company that would eventually be what it is today. They recently expanded their turn-key advisor support business, Good Life Advisor Systems and their RIA operation, Good Life Advisors, LLC by adding Good Life Insurance Associates. GLIA was added to offer increased payouts and a better client service experience to their advisors and agents. Prior to founding Good Life, Courtnie practiced as a Senior Financial Advisor with Conor Delaney at Waddell & Reed. Together, they were amongst the top 1% of advisors at the firm.

Ms. Nein attended Syracuse University on a full-tuition field hockey scholarship where she graduated within three and a half years with a degree in marketing management. She obtained her securities and insurance licenses during her final semester at Syracuse before joining with Mr. Delaney at Waddell & Reed. Ms. Nein grew up in Leesport, Pennsylvania, in a large family business, which provided her with the foundation for becoming the prominent business leader that she is today.

Ms. Nein oversees most of the operations at Good Life on a day to day basis. Like Delaney, she believes in servant leadership. While the growing number of employees at Good Life report largely to her, she can say without a doubt that she has sat in their chair. As the company has grown, she has become more of a manager and a leader but Ms. Nein is one of only a few that can say that have served in every capacity at the firm. Today, her commitments include overseeing the new advisor training program, the on-boarding to LPL and Good Life, the transition department and she manages the daily operations of the RIA. She also runs the day-to-day operations for Mr. Delaney and her wealth management practice.

Courtnie married her long time love, Justinn, in September 2009. They have two sons, Graham and Colt. Courtnie enjoys working out, watching Syrause sports, hiking with Justinn and their cattle dog Dexter, and spending time with friends and family. She also enjoys cooking in her free time. Courtnie is president-elect of the Spring Township Rotary Club, is on the board at the YMCA, and is a participant in the Greater Reading Chamber of Commerce.
